We have corporate making quick decisions that are not rolled out well and the stores have to try and make sense of it all. Don’t tell me that it’s just reactions to market conditions.
Stores are told to plan, have great routines and execute to a high standard. We flex for brand walks to cover all the mistakes in ordering etc. Store conversion conversion conversion.
If we know every holiday should have a sale to bring customers in, why wasn’t it planned well? Why so many cr---y products on sale?
Is it because we need to show sales to attract investors? Or bring up eps? To prop up the falling share price?
Is it because we have so many stale products in back rooms we can’t otherwise move?
How can execution be great when hours were added days before the event? Hours have been cut for a couple months. People just don’t get hired and trained overnight. We won’t have hours to support the extra people needed this week going forward.
Just makes you think….. Hmmm
